FAQs

Will this kit void my car's warranty?

Modifying your vehicle's intake system may potentially affect your manufacturer's warranty. It is advisable to consult your dealer regarding warranty implications before installation.

How often does the filter need maintenance?

Maintenance frequency depends on driving conditions. Generally, inspect the filter every 10,000-15,000 miles or annually. Cleaning and re-oiling (if required) should be done when the filter appears visibly dirty.

What type of filter media is used?

Forge offers filters in pre-oiled foam or pleated nano-fibre options, dependent on the vehicle application and performance gains achieved in testing.

Can I install this myself?

The kit is designed for direct replacement. Basic mechanical knowledge is required. If you are unsure, professional installation is recommended.

How much power will I gain?

Forge has demonstrated peak power gains in testing. The actual gains can vary depending on the specific vehicle, its current condition, and whether it is combined with other modifications like engine software tuning.

Will this kit improve fuel economy?

While improved airflow can sometimes contribute to better efficiency, the primary goal of this kit is performance and sound enhancement. Significant changes in fuel economy are not guaranteed and may depend on driving style.

Troubleshooting

No noticeable change in sound or performance

Ensure all connections are sealed correctly and there are no air leaks. Check that the filter is correctly installed and not obstructed. Performance gains may be more apparent on tuned engines.

Check Engine Light (CEL) illuminated after installation

Verify that all sensors have been reconnected correctly and that the MAF sensor housing is securely fitted within the new pipework. If the issue persists, consult the vehicle's diagnostic codes.

Filter appears dirty quickly

Check for any oil leaks or excessive blow-by from the engine that might be contaminating the filter. Ensure the filter is the correct type for your application and properly maintained.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This kit includes all necessary parts for fitting. Installation involves removing the factory airbox and replacing it with the Forge high-flow filter and custom pipework.

Care: The high-flow filter requires periodic cleaning and re-oiling (if applicable to the filter type).
